About the Item
Elizabeth Gregory-Gruen’s Cut Work series is a free hand paper cutting process that charts the contours of our ever-changing emotional experience through the movement of form, line, and color.
Using free hand scalpel-cut multilayered imagery, the dimensional layers move with vibration. There are no guides, rules, drawings or plans in the process.
Imperfection is perfection. Using bold gestural cutting to convey the intensity and complexity of our inner lives to engage with the emotion and imagination of the viewer.
Elizabeth Gregory-Gruen grew up in Chicago. Her mother and grandmother were artists, introducing Elizabeth to visual thinking. She attended Parsons School of Design in NYC, receiving a BFA in Fashion Design. In her design work she discovered a language of movement in the human condition, leading to the development of imagery in drawings and cut paper. Elizabeth began exhibiting her Cut Work series in 2008. In 2018 she had a solo retrospective show at Howl Gallery in NYC and continues to exhibit her work. Elizabeth currently resides in New York City.

Elizabeth Gregory-Gruen
Elizabeth Gregory-Gruen grew up in Chicago. There, the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright inspired her to experiment with 3-dimensional design using natural light and shadow. Elizabeth came to New York City in 1985 to study Fashion Design at Parsons School of Design. After graduating in 1989, she went on to work at top design houses. Her work has appeared in major fashion magazine editorials including Vogue, Harper's Bazaar and InStyle. She currently resides in New York City with her husband Bob Gruen. CUT WORK Cut Work is an evolving examination of emotion, using original imagery created in a free, hand cut action technique employing a surgeon's scalpel. A clear mind and a steady hand guide Elizabeth Gregory-Gruen in her exploration into shadow and light. Each image is initiated in the top layer of paper. An adhesive is added and another layer of paper; this layer is cut and the process continues, until a total reverse relief is created. The organic images, defined in the numerous layers of paper, capture light and create shadows changing with each moment.

View AllCutwork :Blue & White Circle - In
By Elizabeth Gregory-Gruen
Located in New York, NY
Cutwork is made of 2 ply museum board layered with acrylic ink silkscreen color blend.
Though seemingly perfect and symmetrical at first glance, the original images are cut with no guide, defined by the authentic energy of the free hand cutting. The reverse-relief effect is achieved by first cutting what will become the top layer of paper, with each subsequent sheet layered and cut individually. About her process, Gregory-Gruen says, “It is visceral. A meditation. Imperfection is perfection.”
